Our Pal

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of my stepfather, Al Julian. We nicknamed him Pal during our adoption journey. He had been sick since December and had complications with his lungs. Pal was so excited to meet Maya. We brought her to see him on Monday and for the first time-she walked up to him and rubbed his arm while he laid in bed--it was so sweet.

Pal and my mother were married for only two years--even though there time together was short--it truly was special and the memories will last a lifetime.

Patrick and I loved and respected Al and will miss him dearly.

May God hold you in the palm of his hand!
